Jo’s training, which ran for a day, managed to meet the needs of both experienced and less experienced presenters. She gave us useful pre-work to do and then ran a half-day session with simple, obvious ‘why don’t I do that’ guidance which enriched us all.
Importantly, she focused on both the medium and the message and got everyone away from thinking about what their PowerPoint slides might look like. We then had time to prepare our presentations, after which Jo got us to do a real time, filmed presentation. She led with excellent and insightful feedback, while also creating a ‘safe space’ for peers to feed back as well.
Jo, who takes evaluation of her sessions very seriously, scored ‘excellent’ among all my team.
